In discussion in another thread I got to researching the issue with the GM Type 2 Saginaw PS pump with remote tank. Unable to find a cross over for the Merc P/N 806230T, just using pics and current specs for the two models found.

If the Type 2 is anything left the Type 1 in reference to output pressure, this could be the difference between the auto and marine models. The Merc parts are as always using there premium black paint to justify the addition $400 increase.

Thoughts?

Ayuh,...... Awfully expensive paint in my book,...

I wonder how tough it is to change the relief valve in the new pumps, vs: the ease of the old ones,.....
